I think the front office definately deserves some heat since they havent truly addressed the pitching problem. The Twins pitchers had solid years in 09 & 10 and they felt that was good enough. Yet after they got swept from the playoffs both years, they didnt go out and get an ace to anchor this rotation. We all saw what Johan used to do when we would go into New York and take Game 1. Thats what we needed and for some reason they settled for a bunch of #3 starters to carry us through a decent year. Gardy has done the best he could with some of these players that were dumped on him over the years. This next month is crucial. Gotta take 2 out of 3 against these subpar teams now that the meatgrinder of a schedule is over with.

yup, the meltdown has begun....
-
Yeah, dont get me wrong. I like Thomas. But he shouldnt be our everyday rightfielder.....
-
-
Could have used a big hit by Doumit there....cmon!
-
We need Pavano to pitch 7+ innings tonight....
-
Another good start by Hendricks. Keep it going!!!

We could score 12 today and it wont be enough..... -
When the Twins go back to 12 pitchers...
striker_86 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I agree, We have to try something different. Bring him up just to catch Frankie and see what happens. Dont mess with the infield, Carroll and Casilla are playing great. -
no kidding! How long can he keep this up?

Game 12 - Twins @ Yankees -4/18/12

even a split a Yankee stadium is great. If they win the series tomorrow, that would be epic -
this is a cool feature, you should update this throughout the year

Cmon bullpen. 6 outs! Lets go! -
I agree, 9 million is a lot to put into someone that isnt proven. Make it an incentive based contract. Hopefully Hendricks can have a solid season (and stay healthy!). Try and get Gibson back for some September work. Next year our Putching staff could look like this (in no particular order). Gibson, Hendricks, Blackburn, Baker, ???
-
Exactly, this tough schedule isnt helping anything. Gotta be impressed with how Hendricks pitched today. Really hoping he can put together a nice season which would set him up for a permanant spot in the rotation next year. Hopefully with Kyle Gibson there too. Tough to see our best bullpen option coughing up the lead today.
-
exactly, his defense is terrible, but don't we have bad d already. Wish we could have gotten something for him..
-
2 down, up by 1
-
Put in Perkins now. This is going south in a hurry!
-
cmon Capps, dont make this one a heart attack.
-
Morneau leaving the bases loaded in the 6th seems like ages ago now.
-
We are just beating the crap out of this pitcher now!
-
Mauer single, followed by a Morneau Homer. Thats the way it should be in a 1 run game.
-
There it is!
